Plus, some traffic got split off into the app-dev list (and there's the dev list).

It works, there is documentation and you can Google most of the things
that you are going to run into, if you don't want to read the docs.
The GUI interfaces mostly work if you want to support analog, SIP and
VoIP.

Only the odd little issues or people trying to support odd
configurations result in forum discussions.

It's called being a mature project. And, I don't call averaging 400
messages a month as being a dead list.

And, once I've got several stable systems in production, I don't mess
with them much.

I can't speak for other readers, but from a personal point of view, improvements in Asterisk stability and documentation have lead me to read this list (or write to) much less frequently.

It's cool to hear that Wink

To give some exposure into what has made this possible (since not
everyone follows development):

1. Code reviews were added

Every remotely complex change to Asterisk now goes through code review
to give more people a chance to provide feedback. This has caught a lot
of issues before the change has even been put into the tree.

2. Tests

Test all the things! We've added tons of tests to cover lots of stuff to
make sure that we don't break existing functionality. This has caught
regressions and issues before Asterisk is released. Do we have tests for
everything? Not yet, but we're working on it.

3. Documentation is in the tree

Long ago the documentation for certain stuff in Asterisk was placed into
the source code as XML. This has been extended over time to include
documentation for more types of stuff (manager events for example) and
in some cases we now *require* documentation or Asterisk will just not
load. This is an ongoing process but has helped. This XML gets pulled
out and automatically updated on the wiki[1] as well.

4. We've built frameworks internally

A good foundation for Asterisk has helped stability and development. We
have solid frameworks for common things that are used everywhere and are
continuing to add more.

This has been an evolution to make Asterisk better for everyone, and it
has certainly worked with the help of all Asterisk developers and
contributors.

So at the beginning of my email I mentioned about not everyone following
development. If you are on Twitter and want to see the big things
there's an AsteriskDev[2] account that I tweet things out on. Asterisk
releases, new additions, major changes, conferences Asterisk developers
are speaking at, that sort of thing.
